Yes to Young! Lib Dems in TAY re-select Claire as their candidate

At a meeting held last weekend, Liberal Democrats in Thornbury and Yate have re-selected South Glos Council Group Leader Claire Young to contest the seat at the next General Election.

Claire, who lives with her family in Coalpit Heath in the constituency, previously contested the seat in 2017 and secured over 30% of the vote, cementing the Lib Dems as the main opposition to the Conservatives in the area.

Commenting on her selection, Claire said:

“It’s a great honour to be able to continue to speak up for local people in Thornbury, Yate, Chipping Sodbury and our villages.

“I look forward to speaking out louder than ever about Lib Dem priorities for the country and South Gloucestershire: improving the performance of the NHS both locally and across the country, demanding better funding in our schools, and of course giving you the final say on Brexit with an option to remain.”

“Under Lib Dem rules, candidates don’t keep their post automatically between elections and have to win a vote of local members to stay on. The fact that Claire was reselected by a huge margin is testament to the hard work and dedication she has shown locally over so many years. I look forward to helping get her elected as our next MP, whether the election comes in 2022, or next week!”
